[QUOTE="edrsimms, post: 698462, member: 10970"] Since Bahia and common Bermuda goes dormant after first frost. stockpiling is not an option. Bahia even fresh like Tift 9 is pathetic grazing after July 1 with very high lignin and very low CP. Dormant bahia and bermuda has CP equivalent to wheat straw with a TDN of 45% on a good day so your feed quality here would be: 0.03 x 0.45 = 0.014, so if a 1200 lb cow needs 2.25 lbs TP at fall calving and ate 2.5 % of body weight she would be getting = 30 lbs x 0.014 (feed value of bahia/bermuda) which is 0.42 lbs TP looks like you may be a [b]tad short[/b] Plant some rye for grazing Ed [/QUOTE]
